Abstract

A stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-Nardoaristolone B, a nor-aristolane sesquiterpenoid natural product with an unusual 3/5/6 tricyclic ring system is described. The highlights of the present work includes use of (+)-(R)-Pulegone as a chiral-pool starting material, ring-closing metathesis, allylic oxidation and stereoselective cyclopropanation. In addition, a new analogue of Nardoaristolone B (minor product from the final step) was isolated in pure form and fully characterized with the help of single-crystal X-ray analysis.
